Published on July 4, 2019, a photo of Bob Collymore's group of friends, known as the "Boys Club," went viral, sparking a conversation about the importance of mentorship and networking for young men.

At first glance, the photo appears to be just a group of men having fun, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a collection of some of the most influential and successful men in Kenya.

These individuals, including Alykhan Satchu, Patrick Quarcoo, Peter Kenneth, Jeff Koinange, Bob Collymore, Bharat Thakrar, Nic Hailey, and Joshua Oigara, are all self-made and have achieved great success in their respective fields.

So, what can young men learn from the "Boys Club"? Here are four valuable lessons:

  • Surround yourself with focused and ambitious friends who share your goals and values.
  • Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to relationships and networking.
  • Learn to network and introduce yourself to others, as these connections can lead to new opportunities.
  • Be the type of person that others want to associate with, someone who is driven, ambitious, and successful.

By following these lessons, young men can set themselves up for success and achieve their goals, just like the members of the "Boys Club".
